43. When I was last in L.A. almost 40 years ago for a training course

Sun Jul 13, 2025, 12:13 PM

Jul 13

it was during the week when Pope John Paul II was there so that day of the session (I think a Wednesday) was cancelled because the federal offices were also closed, along with many streets. I was trying to decide whether to go down to Anaheim to see Disneyland or go to one of the studios - either Paramount or Universal. I ended up going to Universal. Had no idea what that area looked like at this point outside of the videos and it looks to be more "urbanized". About 50 years ago, a few years after they opened, I did go to (swampy) Disney World and even with all the recent expansions there since then, that park in metro Orlando, seemed to be easier for LEO to "secure" as "private property".
